VIDEO is much better!!!

So I got about 29 hours on the B26 now. In that time I got ALOT of trees knocked down and stumps pulled. One small fill pit filled in about 18 yards of fill taken off a hill and pushed into the pit hole. Then turned it into a roadway down the hill to the swamp in the backyard where I started work before on an atv trail to the nighbors place using a joke deere. I now need to clear some more trees on the hill to start a new pit to get fill from to keep working on the trail and make it passable since its just full of that black mud thats like 2+ feet deep. So it has been done and heres the videos enjoy. Yes I love this backhoe 500 times the tractor that the john deere was that I tryed out.

before working with the joke deere starting work on the trail and making the first pit that has been filled and turned into a roadway now. ( sorry about the video not being the best it was taken from my old cellphone)

And this video taken today from on the new B26 working the newly made pit (about 8 hours to clear the trees and make this hole lol) takign the fill down the trail to be put where its needed

I had to try out this angle from the bucket lol it came out better then I thought. ( It was a very rough ride till I got fill spread all over the trail and backdraged out smooth, now I can look at all the tracks from the deer and the other things that go bump in the night in my backyard again. I can do without the bear tracks this year tho. )

Cool videos. You should consider getting a tooth bar. You would dig much better.

That sandy soil makes easy digging and the fact that it has not been compressed by horse. I have to work a lot harder to get soil moved here in NJ. I do have a tooth bar; couldn't do anything without it.

Yes it is VERY sandy here and the diggin isnt that hard really. I'm leaving the tractor in mid range and just putting a light push on the tractor (so the wheels dont spin, where im diggin at the edge of a swamp if I break ground with wheel spin I will have water and then a problem) well working the bucket into the bank. This gets a VERY full bucket every time. If the ground gets to hard to dig in well it's a backhoe just turn around and chew the bank up. After 2mins of that I got another 10-15 yards worth of loose sand.
